Career & Technical Education
Career and Technical Education (CTE) looks a lot different today than it did 20 years ago. It now includes programs of study for the fields of Robotics, Culinary Arts, Business Management, Healthcare and many more. CTE students and parents are more than twice as likely to report that they are “very satisfied” with their high school education experience. CTE helps you discover your passion and inspires life-long learning. There is a CTE offering for everyone.
During the 2024–2025 school year, students who took at least 2.0 credits in a Career Technical program had a graduation rate of 99.4% across the PACTEC region.
PACTEC
The Portland Area Career and Technical Education Consortium (PACTEC) supports high schools in the Portland region spanning from rural to suburban to urban districts encompassing Washington and Columbia county. This results in additional support of Career & Technical Education (CTE) and state grant funding beyond the resources of any one district.
